How to install Happ on Android and connect Grusha

Updated 31 October 2026 · 3 min read

Happ is a free app that understands VLESS keys. Setup comes down to two actions: copy the key from the Grusha mini app and paste it into Happ.

Install Happ

  1. Open Google Play and install Happ (developer: Happ Proxy)
  2. If Google Play is not available, download the APK from the setup page and open the file
  3. Allow installs from this source if Android asks

Note. The “install from an unknown source” warning is normal Android behaviour for apps from outside Google Play.

Add the key

  1. Open the bot @grusha_vpn_bot → “Open the mini app” → “Key” tab
  2. Tap “Copy” — the key is now on your clipboard
  3. In Happ, tap “+” → “Add from clipboard”
  4. Pick the “Grusha” server and tap the big connect button

Check the connection

A key icon appears in the status bar, and the Grusha pear in the mini app puts on glasses. If in doubt, open any IP-check service: it will show the server’s country, not yours.

If it does not connect

  • Try the backup key — it is in the mini app too, on the “Key” tab
  • Turn off battery saving for Happ: Xiaomi and Huawei close VPN apps in the background
  • Make sure no other VPN is running — only one can work at a time

Frequently asked questions

Can I use something other than Happ?
Yes. The key is a standard one (VLESS): v2rayNG, Hiddify, NekoBox and other clients with subscription support all understand it.
Do I have to pay for Happ?
No, the app is free. Grusha starts with a free plan too — 15 GB a month.
